    OPPO HA-2 Portable Headphone Amplifier/DAC Discussion Thread

    Been playing around with my OPPO HA-2SE for the past day now, and I have to send it back.   The lack of proper EMI shielding in the housing is unforgivable. It cuts out and glitches too frequently when stacked with my iPhone 7 for it to be usable. A small add of EMI shielding in the housing...

    Review by 'Bossatiger' on item 'Noble Audio Kaiser 10'

    I purchased a second-hand pair on Head-Fi and got them reshelled through the Noble "OWNERSHIP TRANSFER SERVICE (ACRYLIC)." I chose to add Wizard reprint of a beautiful pattern I really liked, and added my own little signature.    As many other reviewers stated, the sound is extremely cohesive...

    New Audeze LCD3

    Could not cope for comfort issues on my LCD-3F after two months. To the classifieds they go.

    New Audeze LCD3

    Okay, I did about 20 hours of burn in (white noise, pink noise, brown noise, silence, sweep, etc. at listening volumes) For some reason now the imbalance is pretty much gone. I am thoroughly confused. Mono is dead center throughout the audio spectrum and with my spl phone app, both sides are...

    New Audeze LCD3

      I swapped the cable connections and I'm getting the same issue. In mono, the left side is louder.   I don't think it's a cable issue based on the results of my tests, but I might be wrong. I am using the stock 1/4 Audeze flat cable I received with the LCD3.

    New Audeze LCD3

    Ordered an LCD3 on 1/16/14 directly from the Audeze site, just got it today. Channel imbalance issues, left ear has audibly louder bass response. Tested with 3 sources, all on mono, also used an SPL meter on my phone. Very disappointing. Hopefully Audeze customer service is quick and I don't...

    The M50x update now fixes quite a few issues actually. Do check that out.

    Audeze EL-8: The EL-8 is a must-hear at CES 2015

    Maybe I'll finally be inclined to buy an Audeze. I've always enjoyed their sound signature, but the ergonomics have held me back.

    Powered Sub for A7x

    Hey all,   I'm looking for a powered subwoofer to pair with my Adam A7x powered monitors. I no longer actually use them to monitor or do critical listening for mixing and such (have invested in a totally separate setup in another studio) so they will sit in my living room desktop rig. I'm...

    $200 +/- headphones recommendations

    Agreed, get the Beyer over the Grado and AKG for electronic. I have personally owned the AKG K701 and Beyers DT770, and a pair of 125 (somewhat similar to the 225), the Beyer is just more enjoyable for me.

    Norne Audio (Was: Norse Audio): Feedback & Impression Thread

    I've been cycled through a few amps and headphones in the past year or so. I began with an HD600, went through amps including a Schiit Asgard 2, Schiit Valhalla 1 stock tubes,  Woo Audio WA7 stock tubes, and a Fostex HP-A4. I sold the WA7 a month ago, the Valhalla 2 months ago (did NOT like the...

    Norne Audio (Was: Norse Audio): Feedback & Impression Thread

    Just made a pre-order for the Draug V2 in Black/Brown 5-foot HD600/650, terminated in a Furutech FT-763 with a Makassar Ebony engraved black painted splitter. Very excited. Any idea on the wait time?

    DAC/Amp for T5P with RCA out for Monitors

    Thanks for the suggestion! I didn't know Schiit came out with a new version of the Asgard with preamp outs. This thing is exactly what I need. What would be a good USB DAC for the rest of my budget? ($250) I have seen good reviews of the ODAC and Modi,

    DAC/Amp for T5P with RCA out for Monitors

    So I just got a pair of T5Ps and I'm looking for a decent Amp/DAC unit to drive them. The Amp/DAC must also have RCA out so I can connect them to my monitors. Since the T5Ps are low-impedance and very efficient, I would like a low impedance headphone output without too much power. The sound...

    Beyerdynamic T5P vs Fostex TH-900

    They are both around the same price, fostex being a bit more expensive. I'm looking for a high end closed back driven without a dedicated amp. I have narrowed it down to these two. My focus is on comfort and sound quality. I want something on the neutral side but smooth/non fatiguing. Comfort...

    Soundstage in IEMs?

    A simple question that has me somewhat puzzled. I somewhat understand how soundstage works in headphones. Big factors include the angle and distance between the driver and the ear can make the headphone sound intimate (hd25) or immersive and deep (hd800). But when this distance/angle factor is...

    What are the best headhones for me?

    Durable as heck? Light, small, and portable? Great for doing everything in? Easy to drive from portable sources? Sennheiser HD25-1 ii. Checks every criteria.

    What is the best hip-hop oriented headphones?

    I would suggest the Beyerdynamic custom one pros. They really have that deep, punchy bass and crispy, decently extended highs for hip hop. I actually prefer it to the aging flagship M50s.

    Small Amp/DAC for HD800

    I'm looking for a small-footprint "transportable" Amp/usb-DAC unit that will pair will with HD800s. Budget can extend, but I would love to keep it under the $1000 mark. Currently I am looking at: Woo WA7: Tube amp, very beautiful with a 32/192 - $900 (a little on the pricey side) ALO Pan Am...

    Headphones or IEMs with Powerful and "In Your Face" Forward Midrange

    Sennheiser's open-back range (e.g. HD558, 5xx) are known for delightfully smooth, detailed, and forward mids. Anything below mid-bass is non-existent and highs are rolled off quite early with little extension. They will be well under $200 and you can easily find a deal on them most of the time.
